WHY are Malamutes dog aggressive?
I don’t know and I don’t think anyone does. Siberians pull sleds in the arctic and they are known for the social good-pack behavior, often even with stranger dogs. Siberians were from a settled society, Malamutes from nomads. Siberians from Russia, Mals from North America. It’s probably too simplistic to say that the Inuit (Malamutes) liked/tolerated dog fighting more than the Chuckhi (Siberians) and the Inuits SELECTED for that trait the same way you’d select for dark eyes, dark pigment, big feet, or a will to pull. But the fact remains that Malamutes have a reputation and a HISTORY of being dog aggressive.
